Bob grew up in Chicago. The eldest of three children, Bob’s parents instilled in him a strong sense of personal responsibility and the importance of education. He attended the University of Illinois for college, and the University of Chicago for law school. Soon after law school graduation, he met Sue at a wedding of a mutual friend. A few years later, Sue and Bob were married and decided to move to Nashville looking for a better quality of life. Nashville quickly became home and it’s where they chose to raise their family. Today, Bob, Sue, and their two daughters, Katie and Claire, live in Nashville’s Hillsboro West End neighborhood.

He was a member of Leadership Nashville’s class of 2013, and served as president of the Nashville Bar Association in 2011. He decided to run for Metro Council-At-Large because he wants to put his unique combination of business and legal experience to work for all of Nashville.
